    We picked this as it was in the middle of Norfolk so easy to get to coast or inland villages. It’s a bit like a motel in that the rooms are in the grounds ( which has a lake and gardens and is lovely). My photos are of Room 6. My friend had Room 7 and her bathroom door was narrower but otherwise very similar. My room (6) had a good bathroom, rails each side of toilet and shower good, but seat is tiny, so I put a bin bag over my chair and showered in my chair. But ideal if you have a shower chair. It also had a tiny kitchen with microwave, kettle and fridge. Restaurant in hotel was lovely, but not a great vegetarian choice as the area specialises in seafood. Only bad point was bed, too high to transfer from chair to bed using slide board. My friend had to help me in and out. Hotel also has a pool heated to hydrotherapy temp and it has a hoist! Designated disabled parking spaces, two I think. Car park is gravel but concrete between spaces to get out and concrete paths to room, reception and restaurant. See photos.

    Staff were cheerful. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Let me have 2 keys for room so my friend could get in at night if I needed her.
